Secret 'Arena' Band

[the wonderwhy]

Hang on wait, what the hell is this Alex Ferguson show?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Does it really matter who did the interview

Yes because NME are a shitty secondary source

[#FreeComTruise]

Unless they missed out some key information, such as the name of this secret act, then I doubt it's going to be a revealing listen

Yes because NME are a shitty secondary source

But given that the thread is based on the NME article it still seems relevant to discuss that.

It could quite easily be NME misreporting, it has happened once or twice before.

Perhaps Yellow can let us know the wording in the original interview as it could have been clearer or more specific.

Seen some 'spotted: Leeds fest' twitter tweet "Kasabian doing the secret set it looks like then" and now everyone's going off their nut saying it's Kasabian

[mattgimmeshelter]

Kasabian would probably be better than whoever it actually is. So why not let them get their hopes up.

that's the point

[Gucci Piggy]

It's Olivier Giroud.

[MONTHEBIFF2013]

Could be Rise Against (have a new album out) or even Black Stone Cherry doing their second 'secret set' of the year.

[Gucci Piggy]

Black Stone Cherry would get a crowd of -3 at this R&L.

[rawaudioinput]

They'd blame it on the boom boom

[GodlikeYeezus]

I thought about Rise Against earlier and if i'm right in saying they have played arena's before? There's a good chance it could be someone underwhelming like them

[dentalplan]

If you are underwhelmed by an arena sized act when the only tidbit offered was 'an arena sized act' then you've only yourself to blame.

I think Rise Against's latest tour drops by Manchester Apollo so I don't believe they have.

[GodlikeYeezus]

So if im putting a lot of effort in to find the stage and time the 'secret act' will be playing and i sit there with my expectations high. Am i not allowed to be underwhelmed if Rise Against walk out? I believe i am

You're allowed, but it would be your own fault for having unrealistic expectations.

Well yeah you probably are because Rise Against aren't an 'arena sized band' but I don't know why your expectations would be 'high' or more importantly that you'd personally be rewarded for finding out where the secret act is.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Do you reckon when the set times are released this will become obvious as to when?

[dentalplan]

Yes. If there's a gap, then it'll be them. If there's no gap then it'll be before a stage opens.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Do you think they'd do that again though? Because Green Day looked pretty hectic when they had to close the arena and stuff.

I called it first

[dentalplan]

They had to close the arena? Are you sure about that?

[nickybu]

Alt-J just announced an arena tour - could they come to R&L?

[mattgimmeshelter]

Friend of mine said they stopped letting people anywhere near the NME?

[justanothername]

Shame it isn't an arena tour

[the wonderwhy]

Friend of mine said they stopped letting people anywhere near the NME?

Yeah they fenced it off. They still let people into the arena though.
